im wanting to make a homebrew solar charger.a 6"x6" pannel x6
1 for each battery with plans for a quick break to separate contacts of each
battery.The issue is i need a way to auto disconect the solar pannels when
batteries reach full charge so as to not damage batteries by overcharging.
is there a cheap solution that i might can buy at the local radio shack
or other local stores.and will i need a diod on the + from the pannel to
keep battery bleed from hurting my pannels.
